StandardAero is now
cleared for MRO services on Hamilton Sundstrand's APS 2300
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). Late last year, StandardAero entered
into an agreement with Hamilton Sundstrand Power Systems (HSPS)
when it was appointed as the first "Authorized Repair Facility" for
the APS 2300 APU. It was the first product StandardAero and
Hamilton Sundstrand had collaborated on. Through the completion of
its first engine, StandardAero demonstrated that the test cell is
now fully functional and correlated, obtaining both FAA and
Hamilton Sundstrand Certifications at its APU facility in
Maryville, Tenn.
Under the initial agreement, HSPS provides StandardAero with
technical support and training, engine manuals and APS 2300 related
approved maintenance data, in addition to access to HSPS spare
parts and component and line replaceable unit repairs. Final
certification also allows StandardAero to perform HSPS warranty
repairs for the APS 2300 program.
"Today's final certification represents a significant milestone
in the expansion of our existing portfolio of services for the
regional airline market," said Tim Fischer, Vice President &
General Manager, Maryville Facility.
"Our long standing experience in aero-engine maintenance and
our innovative concepts of repair technology are some of the
benefits today's certification announcement offers customers."
Currently, APS 2300 APUs are installed on the popular E-Jet
family manufactured by Embraer. With the growing fleet of operating
Embraer 170/190 aircraft (as shown above) and the resulting demand
for alternative repair sources, HSPS selected StandardAero as an
independent service provider.
